No one can use God's authority and power until that person becomes
"born again' by the
"Word of God" through the "
Spirit of God."
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that
which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
How to become "
born again"
Rom 10:9 Because
if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Rom 10:10 For
with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and
with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
